Kenya, Aug. 13 -- Residents of Kianjokoma in Embu County were left in disbelief after a man who had stolen four goats during the night mysteriously returned them in the early morning while openly weeping. According to witnesses, the man, who had been seen lurking around homesteads earlier that week, arrived at the goat owner's compound shortly after sunrise, leading the animals with a rope and begging for forgiveness.
His voice shook as he kept saying that something he could not see had been bothering him since he stole the goats, making it hard for him to eat, sleep, or relax. Neighbours gathered quickly, curious about what had driven him to return the goats so suddenly. Livestock theft cases in the region often end with the culprits vanishing for good.
Several elderly residents noted that it was the first time they had seen such a dramatic confession without the presence of police officers or a village meeting. The goat owner, still in shock, said he had woken up to noises outside his gate and found the suspect standing there with swollen eyes and shaky hands. To read more click here.
